The post whore thread.

I avoided most of it, but turns out most all the folks were cool about stuff.

I still had to walk away a few times, but honestly I spent quite a bit of time today pushing a bench swing that had 3 to 5 yr. olds on it.

Uncle OBC was the "Cool Uncle"......I'm mostly uncomfortable around little kids, but for some damn weird reason I felt pretty good entertaining those kids. Blowing up balloons and shit like that.

Yeah,.... I hope they remember being at Grandma and Grampa's place and having fun today amidst the reason they were here in the first place. Walter, 7 I think, had a bit of a hard time and my GF took him for a walk on the path for a while. Later on he was boasting about having Grandpas welding helmet.

Another step in many peoples lives.

I hope we all have a good week.

G'nite friends.

G'night OBC

One morning this spring on my way to Pueblo I saw a train outside of Larkspur hauling the blades for wind turbines on flat beds. It was @ dawn, quite foggy & interestingly enough it looked like a school of white whales swimming through the valley.

I wish I could have safely taken a photo to share.

Saw an almost tornado today. Funnel cloud was working its way to the ground but didn?t make it.

Where? I'm sitting just East of Limon right now.

Over there

Bad stuff heading your way, Stu.

The worst might skirt north of you.

When we were watching the funnel cloud it looked to be due south of Watkins. We were watching it from the east side of Aurora. My coworkers wife could see it pretty good from Parker.

Getting closer to Limon now.

Drove through a bit, but probably missed the worst

In Deer Trail, barely raining, storm is North of I-70.

Technically I70 runs north and south around Dear Trail so maybe the weather is west of I70. Lol.

Well, East.

My mom just sent me a picture of the funnel cloud. I bet if we didn't stop to eat in Lamar, we might have had a chance to see it.

I'd like to see that picture please.

It was taken from Lowery and I can post when I get home. Saw a Tesla in Lamar.

Limon seems to draw as many tornadoes as OK does.

That one was rotating much more quickly than my almost tornado. Nice pic.

Wait till you have to deal with the ravens. Fuckers are sneakier than a pick pocket at a nudist colony. IF your trash can lid is open a crack, they're in there like illegals crossing over in to texas.

Two things.

1) I have a box of *850 gumballs. It's sitting on a tall shelf that is way over my head and I have to stand on tippy toe to reach into the box. I usually get two at a time. When I get two of the same color, it drives me crazy.

2) This showed up at my neighbor's house today. 48's baby!

*Sure there are 850 gumballs, but I think that there are only maybe 5 different colors, so it's not that crazy when I get two of the same.

Did you tell him his big boy pants were showing?

Nah, he was stressed out between having the truck dumping coolant on him (making him a few hours late) and figuring out how to get that door home, so I didn't chat him up too much.

I put a similar sized box of gumballs into my 4' Wizard about 10 years ago.

Im not sure what they are now, but it's fair to say that it is no longer chewing gum.

I?ve been wanting to put a lift on my Xterra for as long as I?ve owned it (I?ve owned this vehicle longer than any other and it?s the first one I haven?t lifted), but really couldn?t justify it due to other financial priorities. Well today it just became a priority, we are t-minus 12 days from our annual road trip to California, and I just realized one of my rear driver side leafs is completely snapped. Fortunately Old Man Emu replacements are similar priced or cheaper than the zero lift options I was looking at, threw in some ride height adjustable Bilsteins up front, and should have a nice mild boost in height, similar to what I think the Xterra Pro4x should have looked like from the factory.

Depending which way your trip takes you, we should try meeting up. This place is decent, if you're running down 17, amazing pie selection.

Yeah definitely, looks like we are scratching Moab due to logistics, and putting our focus more on AZ.

Sounds like the redhots in the MRE's that I sample when the inspect by date is past like 8 years.

Are the Bilsteins coil overs?

Did I mention how much fun I had shooting up close & fast @ the match on Saturday? A whole month is a long time off to wait to do that again. Fooie.

The are enough IDPA and USPSA matches around town that you could probably shoot 5-6 a month if you try.

With my rifle?

Only if you build a pistol caliber carbine.
